La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion – Micro-Exfoliating Clarifying Lotion

Meet the Effaclar Astringent Lotion — an advanced toning step created specifically for oily, acne-prone skin with visible pores or rough texture. Designed to be used after cleansing, this clarifying lotion purifies the skin surface and primes it for the rest of your skincare routine.

Key features include:

• Micro-exfoliation using Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA) to remove dead skin cells, lift surface debris and refine skin texture. 

• Sebum-regulating ingredients to help control excess oil and tighten the look of dilated pores. Tested on oily and acne-prone skin, non-comedogenic format suitable as part of a dermatologist-approved routine. 

Use this lotion to restore clarity and balance to your complexion – making it smoother, fresher and better prepared for your serum or moisturizer.

Cleanse your skin and gently pat dry.

Apply a generous amount of CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion to face and/or body.

Massage in until fully absorbed.

Use once or twice daily or as often as needed for hydration.

For daytime use, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen if going outdoors.

Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA): A derivative of salicylic acid, which provides exfoliation at the pore exit and helps refine texture and minimize pore appearance.

Seboregulating Actives: Help reduce excess oil and fight blockage that leads to enlarged pores.

Alcohol Denat (in formula base): Provides astringent, toning effect – use with caution if skin is sensitive.
